The program on the management of tuberculosis among immigrants utilizes several designs. One of them is the human based design, which considers individuals as belonging to a community. These individuals interact with each other and may thus benefit each other directly or indirectly. However, individuals in a community can also be a source or point of transmission of diseases to other populations. The other design/strategy adopted by the program is to consider the geography and environment in which individuals live. Both the human and physical environments may provide either opportunities or risks for program implementation. The design and implementation of any health ...

Introduction

Corporate governance has picked up a much higher profile in the recent two decades. This has been attributed to the rise of different corporate embarrassments and collapses. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is presently becoming a part of standard corporate governance because of the fact that an organization can't – in the long-run – work in seclusion from the more extensive social order in which it works (Mallin, Chris A. 2013). This view is supported by Sir Adrian Cadbury: 'The broadest method for categorizing corporate governance is to say that the proceeded presence of organizations is dependent upon an inferred knowledge between business and ...

Literature Review on Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions entail the joining of independent firms to form a single entity (DePamphilis, 2011). According to Calandro (2009), Mergers and/or acquisitions can be hostile or friendly depending on the type of outcome. For instance, mergers can involve firms of equal sizes while at times, one firm may dominate its equivalent. Mergers can be differentiated from acquisitions in the sense that mergers are thought of being the amalgamation between firms of equally the same resources or size. Similarly, the amalgamation between firms of different sizes i.e. one firm being smaller than the other ...

Similarities and Differences of Two Articles

Similarities
The studies written by Aljifri and Moustafa (2007, pp. 71-93), and Stanwick and Stanwick (2010, pp. 35-41) have striking similarities.

Literature Review

Tourism’s basic purpose is to visit other places, cultures, traditions and expand one’s experience of the world. That is why Murphy (2013) argued that tourism is natural renewable resource industry in which visitors visit only to admire. However, tourism is so popular that this industry is producing 5% of the world GDP currently (“United Nations Environment Programme,” 2014). Hence, with the growing amount of money in tourism, the tourism industry is becoming recklessly extravagant when it comes to exploiting resources and harming the planet. But in tourism, sustainability is important to avoid noxious effects on people, environment ...

There is plenty of literature on human trafficking. Much of the available literature relates to human trafficking on women and children. According to Laczko and Gramegna (2004) these two groups are the hardest hit by the illegal trade. In order to avoid ambiguity, most studies and books have described human trafficking as coercion or forceful involvement of people into activities against their wish for commercial gain (Laczko & Gramegna, 2004; Farrell, 2011). In spite of numerous efforts to fight the trade, the number of people affected by human trafficking is still high. A study by the Polaris Project estimates that ...

Healthcare involves the collaboration of various medical organizations, institutions, and providers, all of whom manage their own data under different storage and retrieval systems, and though practical and efficient within the target system, there is a lack of uniformity in structure across other systems (Masud et al. 2012).

This lack of synergy between the various data storage systems, and the types of information stored, preclude the sharing of data among the various healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations. E-health systems, on the other hand, allow the storage and retrieval ...
